The Ghana Football Association has announced the dismissal of Otto Addo as head coach of Ghana’s senior national team, the Black Stars.

The former Borussia Dortmund assistant coach leaves his post following Ghana’s defeats in both of their pre–World Cup friendly matches against Austria and Germany in March.

In a statement confirming the decision, the Ghana FA said: “The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has parted ways with the Head Coach of the senior men’s national team (Black Stars), Otto Addo, effective immediately.

"The Association wishes to thank Otto Addo sincerely for his contribution to the team and wishes him the best of luck in his future endeavours.

The Ghana Football Association will communicate the new technical direction of the Black Stars in due course.”

Addo’s departure marks another significant change in the technical setup of the national team as Ghana continues its preparations ahead of the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026.
